These specs really demonstrate just how different the SoundBucket is from the rest of the herd. If you’re interested, there’s more information about how these were measured (see menu opposite), and how to use them to compare the SoundBucket to other speakers.

Physical:

• Strong, compact design, 14cm diameter x 12cm high (~ 6″x5″)
• Solid, bolted construction weighing 1.5Kg (3lbs) with leather carry handle
• Outer cylinder is epoxy powder painted in gloss car paint
• Removable top bass driver speaker grille
• Audio board and batteries are built to be replacable/ upgradable
• Aux and power connectors are mounted on the rear of the unit

User features:

• Power: On/Off
• Bluetooth: automatic connect/ disconnect
• Audio: dim level
• Status: Tri-colour LED displays battery level&  Bluetooth status
• Mono or stereo operation

Connectors:

• 5mm audio aux jack in, 2V RMS max level
• 5mm audio aux jack out, for wired stereo, or daisy chaining multiple Soundbuckets
• Micro USB connector for standard charge
• 12-24V DC jack in for high power operation
